The Story Wizard Phonics Scheme for Ages 4–6 introduces children to the phonemes and spelling conventions they are expected to learn in Year 1. Activities include resources for introducing individual words and for placing them into sentences alongside previously taught words.

A free planning guide is available with examples of how Story Wizard Phonics resources can be organised across the school year.

The Story Wizard phonics scheme aims to get children writing stories as quickly as possible by helping them understand and enjoy the relationships between spoken sounds and written symbols (magic spells!).

Each time a new phoneme is introduced it is placed in the context of words alongside phonemes that have been previously taught to help children quickly make sense of the relationship between letters and words.

Each unit includes:
- sound charts with initial mouth positions
- flashcards with guidance for sounds
- definitions for every word
- Wave Your Wand activities: Make a ‘word wand’ and then wave your wand in shapes that become ‘magic spells’
- Sentence Line games: Select a word and then have a go at organising yourselves into a ‘sentence line’
- Sentence Maker: Develop fine motor skills and handwriting by cutting out words and sticking them into place. Then having a go at writing sentences yourself.
